A panelled lounge wall in deep green, framing a fireplace and fitted joinery

What we make

Wall panelling & wainscoting

Raised-and-fielded, flat-panel and fluted panelling — matched to the room and made to read as part of the architecture.

MSO Joinery/What we make/Panelling & wainscoting

Good panelling is not decoration. It is part of the architecture, and it should feel built-in, not stuck on.

We panel rooms the way a house was originally built: proportioned to the wall, with a real dado, frieze and cornice, and mouldings run to match anything already there.

From a single chimney breast to a whole panelled room, every stile, rail and field is set out for its wall and hand-finished in the workshop before it is fitted.

Panelled rooms & feature walls

A whole wall panelled and colour-matched to the room — flat-panel joinery in a deep, considered green, proportioned to the fireplace and the ceiling line so it reads as part of the house.

Common questions

Panelling & wainscoting
What is the difference between panelling and wainscoting?

Wainscoting is panelling to dado (chair-rail) height; full panelling runs to the cornice. We make both, proportioned to the room.

Can you match panelling to an existing period room?

Yes. We take the existing mouldings off the wall and run new ones to match, so new panelling reads as part of the original room.

Do you make concealed (jib) doors in panelling?

We do — flush, hinged doors mould-matched to the panelling, so a dressing room, ensuite or cupboard disappears into the wall.
